a) The numbers and symbols that the base-30 numeral system consists of are 0 to 9, as
in the base-10 numeral system but also alphabetic symbols that go from 10 to 29. 30
is not represented as a symbol as it already can be represented by a 1 in the second
digit in the numer. Same as number 10 is not a single digit in the base-10 numeral
system. That’s why 30-base numeral system consists of:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T, where T is the same
as 29 in the 10-base system.
b) 1010 = A 30
solution: As 10 base 10 is part of the first digit of the base-30 system, A in the 30-
base system becomes the equivalent of 10 in the 10 base system
3610=16 30
solution: 1*30^1 = 30 (base 10) = 10 (base 30). 30 is subtracted from 36, which
leaves a rest of 6. 6*30^0 (1) = 6 (base 10) = 6 (base 30). As 30^0 equals 1, the rest
must be the same in the 30-base system
4210=1C 30
solution: Same ordeal here with the second digit of the 30-base system, but this time
the rest is 12, 12 corresponds to C in the 30-base system.
420 30=E 0❑
solution: 14*30^1 = 14*30 = 420 (base 10) = E0 (base 10). 420 is precisely 30 times
14, which means that the second digit in the 30-base system must have the value of
14 of base 10. Because there is no rest, the first digit equals zero.
